How high is it to top of the pedal when the arm is at the lowest setting? AKA how short can this device be while still operable?

If I understand the question, I measured 15 inches off floor to top pedal when at highest position.

It's adjustable, but not that low. At it's lowest setting, it's longer than the length of my arm.

The stand connects almost directly under the pedal hub -- already the lowest ground-clearance area of the bike. However, the retracted stand then angles down to within just a few inches of the ground. I tried it on my E-Zip and sent it back.

The pedal is a great addition. Let's you change settings with your foot! I believe it can be used for other things as well.

I have a question - Im shorter than all of you at 4'9". I recently spent an evening putting together a reclining bike only to find my feet went nowhere near the pedals even on the lowest setting! Reluctant to buy another one.. Any ideas?

Hi Eunice,It isn't really about height, but about leg length. With the machine at the closest setting, it is about 24 inches from where your leg would start to the end of the pedal, so if your leg is 24 inches or longer from the upper thigh to your toe, you should be able to adjust the bike to the point you can comfortably pedal the bike. Hope this helps.r/Jim

In the bottom position the pedal is seven inches off the ground. At the highest position, in the highest end of the pedal, it's 17.5" When the pedals go up, they angle and the back end of the pedal is higher than the front by about 3".

The hydraulics beneath the foot pedals on my unit require a lot of effort to depress - I find that I really need to be standing to effectively make use of the full range of motion. Even when I tweak the tension adjustment, for me, I still need to stand to depress the pedals fully. (It's definitely small and portable and lightweight enough to schlep to the office to try!)

I would say it's about 15-20inches tall, but remember the foot pedals are really wide u got plenty of room.. And you will not be shifting your feet .. You' ll only be riding it like a bike .. U stand and u push down. The air cushions will help u rise .Yes , u could hold on to a chair or any furtniture that's high enough for u.. To start ,, a walker? I think it's too low in height..

I just got this bike and it works for someone who is 4'11". I can fully pedal while sitting properly in the chair (on its lowest setting) and have no issues holding onto the handlebars. I think those shorter than me would find it difficult to reach the pedals comfortably.

Not very high at all. I would say no more than 6-8 inches at the most. You can actually just step between the pedals and seat if careful.

Im guestimating the length to be around 3 feet. I dont move mine around much at all. but it is fairly easy. The Pedal bars are magnetically attached to the flywheel. its as simple as the push of a button to lift them up to the handle bars where they attach magnetically. Another push of the button folds the machine in half. After that, it does take a little strength to leverage it on to the wheels (holding down with foot and pulling the top down) once you have it on the wheels its very easy to drive around. The trickiest part is going from wheels back to ground without losing control

Higher and lower yes, a few inches. The lowest settings works fine for me. Closer and further no, but you can change the distance from the steering wheel and pedals with the seat adjustment.

The highest point reached at mid-pedal is 18", but you really couldn't get yourself 18 inches off the ground, because even if you were trying to straighten out your knee, at that point, the pedal is descending as you take weight off the other foot. It doesn't operate the same way a bicycle pedal does. After experimenting, I managed to top my standing height by 14 inches. Add two for peace of mind and you've got 16" max. (I should note that I had to really work to get myselt that high - I was going like sixty!)

There are at notches more toward the pedals - I am 5'8" - so I don't see any reason why someone that height should not be able to use it. My suggestion would be to go all the way down and work back.

I'm 5'4" and set the seat at the number 4 position. Not sure how short you are, but the number 1 position would put the seat very close to the pedals. They sell this bike at Dick's Sporting goods which is where we tried it out.

I want to say the lowest the pedal comes to the floor is about 2.5 inches or so.
